Trip Reports

Although my detailed birding notes were intended to replace episodic 'trip reports', these can still better convey the excitement of birding in this area.  Accordingly, I have listed some of the more useful trip reports (plus some of my own!) below.  This list is not comprehensive (and excludes any prior to 2000) but should give you a good feel for birding in Cadiz province (and beyond).                                                                                                                          

If you've written up a report on birding in the area please let me know so I can add it to the list.   Alternatively, send me a copy to put on my blog

My Trip Reports                                                                                                                                                                                                     
I have rather neglected ‘publishing’ my trip reports on favour of writing my notes up as a general guide to the area.  However, trip reports, all based in Alcala de los Gazules, can be found on my old blog at http://alcalabirding.blogspot.com   

In addition some can also be can be viewed at:
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/spain/Cadiz-1/cadiz-feb-07.htm      (mid February 2007) http://www.andaluciabirdsociety.org/forum/index.php/topic,135.0.html      (May 2009)                                                                       http://www.kentos.org.uk/Trip%20Reports/JohnCantelo-Report.htm          (May/June 2010)
Otherwise contact me and I will email more trip reports I have  ‘on file’.

I am also happy to 'host' a trip report on my blog. In the meantime please contact me for my previous trip reports so that I can email them directly.  These mainly cover late May/June and February since that is when I've most often been out on a 'full-on' birding trip.

Good birding,
